lecture notes

i just spent about an hour typing up my lecture notes and tried to upload it to blogger which said it was too long. when i clicked 'back' to try and copy and paste it into a word document it told me i had to contact the system supervisor - this is because i'm trying to use the college computers which have many sites blocked - how can i comment and show current project if facebook's blocked? How can i talk about contraversial issues if mild-taboo words are blocked?  this is insane and no way to run a degree course. I am not a child, i don't need an internet babysitter.  I've spent a lot of money on this course the administration and appaling access are blocking me at every turn. I feel like many bits of this course are shoddy. Other bits assume greater knowledge than we have. Show me how to use a Mac and i can do what we're expected to do. Ask me to start a blog and i can do it, i don't need to be shown how to access a website. If this is the expected level of a degree then I don't need to do one. I hope it's less patronising in future but what we can do about the infantilising and overly complicated computer set up I don't know. So. I could spend an hour re-typing notes on Graphic Design but i'd rather do some real work.
